As a maid of the royal family, Irene was sent to learn etiquette by Princess Marla to take her place in marriage.
Her partner in a marriage was the brave and fierce General Ronald, who had just been granted the title of a duke!
Rumor has it that Ronald was cruel, bloodthirsty, and did not care about women.
To even seduce or betray him was to court death.
Irene shivered in her wedding gown. She did not know how many days she would survive being around him.
Ronald asked, "Wifey, why are you shivering?"
Irene responded fearfully, "I… am a little cold..."
The tall man smiled and pulled her into his embrace, and their body temperatures rose.
One day, the substitute marriage came to light, and thus her marriage with the duke was void. Everyone thought that whatever she had to face next was terrible.
However, the duke held her face and said, “Regardless of whether you’re a princess or maid, if you were to marry, it can only be me!”

After Irene finished bathing the kitten, she gave herself a bath, and went to bed satisfied.

Ronald went to work and didn't come back until midnight. He didn't disturb Irene, but instead carefully lifted the quilt and lay down beside her.

Irene sensed the movement around her. Although she was sleeping, she hugged Ronald accurately and rubbed against him like she longed for him.

Ronald thought that he had woken Irene up. His movements froze for a while. He only dared to relax when he heard her steady breathing.

Ronald planted a kiss on Irene's head. He had regained what he had lost. So this was what it felt like to be at ease.

The next morning, Irene was the first one to open her eyes. When she found herself lying on Ronald's body, her small face immediately flushed red.

She could only stand up carefully, afraid that she would wake him up.
